Inside the Elite League venue.
As usual, the venue was packed to the brim with people.
Today, the number of people in the staging area had decreased significantly. Over ten thousand people had passed the preliminaries but only over three thousand had made it to the second round of the arena matches.
Two thousand of them had made it to the next round through the five-person arena matches. The remaining one thousand had made it to the next round through the ranking matches.
There were still eight arenas in front of the venue.
Eight matches would be held at the same time. The goal was to pick out the truly outstanding ones as soon as possible. After all, the most exciting part of the matches would begin when the participants entered the main venue uptown.
…
Su Ping walked Su Lingyue to the staging area. He looked around but didn't find any vacant seats. Thus, he went to the back and sat down.
He didn't run into Fei Yanbo that day. Su Ping took a seat and looked around the stage. He didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Then, he pulled the hood over his head, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to take a rest.
As more and more people entered the venue, more and more people were sitting around Su Ping. Those were the general audience who had come to enjoy the show.
Soon, the second round of the arena matches began.
The rules were simpler and crueler!
This time, three people would be on the same stage. To win, one had to defeat the other two!
The winner would be qualified to advance to the next round. The loser would lose the chance to compete for a spot in the next round. They would bid farewell to the Elite League forever.
This kind of rule also caused more people to fight with their lives on the arena battles.
As usual, the participants would go on stage by drawing lots. As the matches began, more and more participants stepped onto the stage.
Su Ping had already known the rules. He wasn't worried at all. He watched the stage in boredom, waiting for Su Lingyue to be chosen so that he could go home.
Soon, Su Lingyue was chosen.
Stage B2.
As the other two participants stepped onto the stage, the battle was about to begin.
However, the battle was over before it even began. Su Lingyue summoned the Moonfrost Dragon which had already been exposed. The dragon roared and froze the other two participants. Then, the Moonfrost Dragon froze the stage with its breath of ice.
One of them had a strong will. He came back to his senses in time and jumped off the stage.
The other person was frozen into an ice sculpture, standing on the stage for a long time, and would shatter with a light touch.
Su Lingyue didn't kill him. Instead, she asked the Moonfrost Dragon to take back the cold air and thaw the man.
After defrosting, this person had a complicated look on his face. He did not resist anymore and chose to admit defeat. The match ended in less than a minute. It was a complete one-sided crush!
As soon as the match was over, Su Lingyue called back the Moonfrost Dragon. Her match had ended quickly but it had caught the attention of many people.
Many people in the audience knew about the strange dragon and Su Lingyue, thanks to all the negative news on the Internet.
However, after seeing such strength, the doubts in the crowd lessened by a lot. A delicate woman who relied on her body to climb to the top would not be able to tame a violent dragon beast.
The match was over. Su Ping wasn't surprised at all. He stood up and waited for Su Lingyue to come out.
When Su Lingyue came out from the staging area, Su Ping took her home without paying attention to the people around. He didn't want to waste any more time there.
As for the other contestants, he wasn't being arrogant. It was just that Su Ping didn't think it was necessary to watch. He had paid attention to some of the matches that were popular on the Internet. However, those people weren't at the Crescent District. They were at the uptown area.
After all, if those popular contestants left the uptown area where they lived to compete in the shantytown area, they would be humiliated if they were exposed.
After they got home, Su Ping asked Tang Ruyan to continue teaching Su Lingyue. The herbs he had ordered from the explorers' website had been delivered. Tang Ruyan had boiled them into a medicinal bath for Su Lingyue.
After a few days of training, Su Lingyue had made great progress. She was like a dry soil that was suddenly nourished by nutrients. Her strength had soared. She had reached the upper position of the fourth rank, only one step away from the fifth rank.
Su Ping knew that his sister was talented. It was just that the family was too poor and lacked resources. Otherwise, she could have been trained in the same way as the young masters of those big families.
On the fifth day.
As usual, Su Ping drove Su Lingyue to the stage.
Today was the third round of the arena matches. Over a thousand contestants had been selected the day before. Today, the final one hundred would be sent to the Elite League at the main venue.
Each division had one hundred contestants. Only the Heavenly King Division and the Dragon Fall Division in the uptown area had two hundred contestants. Altogether, the twelve divisions had 1400 contestants.
It was a great honor to be able to make it to the Top 100 in the division. Their names would be sent to all the academies in the division through the Academic Affairs Office. They would become role models for the students in the division to learn from.
This kind of achievement wouldn't be recorded in the textbooks but it was still something to brag about for the rest of their lives.
The competition for the Top 100 contestants was even more intense than the day before.
It was still a random draw. First, some contestants would be selected and then the rest would be competed for through challenges.
When it was Su Lingyue's turn, Su Ping paid some attention to her. Soon, he realized that his concern was unnecessary. The Moonfrost Dragon finished all the other contestants with one roar and one breath of ice.
Two of them were fighting against advanced pets. Even so, the Moonfrost Dragon's strange roar had made them tremble in fear. Their combat abilities were greatly diminished.
Su Ping knew that the Moonfrost Dragon's roar was something that Joanna had found a dragon of the Major God rank (above the legendary rank) in the Divinity to teach the Moonfrost Dragon. The Moonfrost Dragon's roar was as powerful as the one the Inferno Dragon had learned in the dragon king's heritage ground. The Moonfrost Dragon's roar was twice as powerful as the one the Inferno Dragon had learned in the dragon king's heritage ground.
…
The audience was passionate and the venue was bustling.
When the Top 100 contestants were announced, the venue was filled with cheers.
Su Ping sat in the crowd calmly. That was within his expectations, but it happened as time went by. He wasn't surprised at all, so he didn't feel much emotion.
The competition continued into the night. Under the high-power spotlights in the stadium, the stadium was as bright as day. Even the grass beside the stadium could be seen clearly.
The host invited the Top 100 contestants to the stage. Then, the Mayor of the Crescent District went up to the stage in person to give out medals. Medals!
The Top 100 contestants would represent the Crescent District in the final Elite League. Once one of them won the championship or won a chance to be admitted to a base city, it would be a great honor for the entire Crescent District. The Crescent District's economy would improve for the next few years and the city government would provide more resources and benefits.
